Masamune Datenicle

Synopsis

This coming-of-age battle story focuses on the young years of the famed 17th-century Japanese warlord Date Masamune. The Date clan derived its name from the Date area of the former Mutsu province, which now corresponds to part of the modern city of Date. The anime serves as the first installment of the city's "Kirari na Wonder Project," an initiative aimed at showcasing local tourist attractions and the region's appeal. Production is handled by Gainax's newly established Fukushima studio, with completion scheduled for the end of March. The anime will be screened privately in April, shown at anime events, and made available online.
